<p>Anybody have any experiance with it?</p>
<p>My daughter attended Harvard SSP last summer and had the best time of her life! She made friends with students from all over the world, enjoyed living in Harvard Yard, and had fun in Cambridge away from her over-protective parents. The work load was intense: 4 week summer seminar meeting 4 days a week for 2 and 1/2 hours, 15 kids in the class (no where to hide), 8 books to read (2 per week, a few of them were 300 pages long), a 500 word essay due four days a week (Monday- Thursday), a 1000 word essay due on Fridays.
Some kids were so overwhelmed they rarely had time for fun, but my daughter managed both (and got an A in the course.) For the right-kid, I would highly recommend it.</p>
<p>I got in last year, but couldn't go : (
It's a great program though! You should apply!
I'm applying again this year, hopefully I get in and end up going. I want to take Calculus I.</p>
